Libertarian Party stalwart Andy
Horning, who ran for
and
leaving the state for a job in
the party announced today in a press release.
Horning, 50, has been the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s best-known torchbearer
and most vocal advocate for more than a decade.
The press release did not
say what job Horning was taking in
or when he would be leaving. Party officials were not immediately available for
comment.
“I am a Libertarian
because of Andy Horning,” said Chris Spangle, executive director of the
Libertarian Party of Indiana, in the release. “Andy is the first person in my
life that explained that citizens are in charge of the government, and that I
may need to pull its leash a little harder. He challenged the way I thought
about governing.”
In addition to mayor and
governor, Horning also unsuccessfully ran for state representative in District
96 in 1996,
for U.S. Congress in the 7th District in 2002, all under the Libertarian
banner.
Horning received 57,000
votes, or about 2 percent, in last year’s gubernatorial election won by Mitch
Daniels.
